    I don’t think it’s that easy.

    Interactivity only possible for most at small scale.

    You’re overlooking the real OG of the internet: usenet, irc and bulletin board systems (bbs).

    The internet has always needed an “easy access” place to communicate, ask questions, or joke around - with a broad audience from around the world.

    Of course, gopher, ftp, and http - did exactly as you said: serve static content.

    But the internet has always needed a place for “dynamic” conversation and it’s these places that are overran with bots.

      F2F might help against bots. “From around the world” becomes harder to achieve, though. Almost requires people traveling, making friends and exchanging QR codes offline.

      Because a real living person standing before you is about the only way to know.
